On the basis of student and faculty nominations and an application process, the Headmaster appoints a number of seniors to be Monitors of the School. The group then nominates one to be the Head Monitor and two or more to be Senior Monitors. These students are expected to lead the rest of the student body “by precept and example,” and are also expected to help the faculty uphold school rules. To be appointed a Monitor is a mark of respect by the community, and the manner in which the Monitors carry out their dormitory and school-wide responsibilities affect the tone of the School.

Prefects are a group of fully invested juniors devoted to providing strong dorm-based engagement and mentorship. Prefects are ready to do the difficult work of helping our new students adjust to life at boarding school, as well as build strong dorm communities in Anderson and Hummel dorms. Prefects provide a sense of stability, camaraderie, and community on dorm, including how residential life can be leveraged to build healthy relationships amongst students, as well as between students and adults.

Every year, rising seniors may apply to be part of the Young Alumni Leadership Program (YALP). Members of YALP work with the EHS Advancement Office to learn how they can support the School once they graduate and what opportunities will be available to them as alumni. YALP members use what they learn to educate their fellow seniors about the importance of staying connected to The High School after graduation through volunteering, attending alumni events, career networking, and giving to the Roll Call. Members of YALP cap off the year by leading the senior class fundraising effort and hosting an end-of-year dinner for their classmates.
